Payback Lyrics

Convicted, a brutal act of sin
The sentence did not fit the crime
Outrage, screaming bloody murder
Released, done the time

Hey you
Remember me?
I am the last thing
You'll ever see

Payback, I'll make you suffer
In their name I shall avenge
Hunted just like an animal
The innocent shall have their revenge

Hey you
Remember me?
I am the last thing
You'll ever see
Ya you
Looking at me
I am the last thing
You'll ever see

Payment due
Payment is you
Payment, payment, due
I'm coming

Cowardly acts of violence, the ultimate betrayal
An eye for an eye, true justice will prevail

Squeal, how does it feel to you
Like a pig down upon your knees
Scream as I squeeze your life out
And rid the world of your disease

Hey you
Remember me?
I am the last thing
You'll ever see
Ya you
Looking at me
I am the last thing
You'll ever see

Hey you
Remember me?
I am the last thing
You'll ever see

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

As best stated in the title, the song is about seeking revenge and justice for a crime committed. When the criminal gets a sentence unfitting for his crime, they are empowered to take matters into their own hands when the justice system had failed in locking them up. The main protagonist is driven by a sense of justice and the need to right the wrongs that have been done to the victims of the criminal he sees as nothing but a plague on the world (a parasite in society). In the end, he has no qualms about snuffing out his life, unknowingly committing an evil crime that he feels to be a lesser evil; To eliminate a criminal may be seen as acceptable righteously, but not so morally.
